Mosin Posted January 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 All they did was steal some wood... They can be arrested for that right? Crushing cars isn't a good idea IMO... Lets hope that the Iraqi didn't go home and become an insurgent and start lining the roads with mines for the soldiers... Abuse of power IMO Derp.

Namosh Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 I'm really surprised they would do that. Especially on camera. They should know better. My Ram Quad Cab Blow-through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team_DC-Derrick Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 you also have to think though, in the area that they are in, looting of electronics from cars *they said looting the car.. * could be used to make bombs and stuff.. granted i think they went way overboard, but if your ordered to destroy something your gonna do it.. and we dont know the whole story, the media normally trys to portray the military as doing something bad even when they are just defending themself The DC Integra 3 18s to 6 15 build log Team_DC-Derrick's Youtube Team DC Audio where theres a will theres a wall.......

kl0wn Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 I need a tank... x2! IMO they did go to the extreme for that.. I don't care if they were stealing wood, it's not like they were stealing something that cost a few hundred grand. Abuse of power in my eyes. you also have to think though, in the area that they are in, looting of electronics from cars *they said looting the car.. * could be used to make bombs and stuff.. granted i think they went way overboard, but if your ordered to destroy something your gonna do it..and we dont know the whole story, the media normally trys to portray the military as doing something bad even when they are just defending themself There was nothing mentioned in that video of them saying looting the car, the one soldier said "we caught them looting so we're going to crush their car" or whatever. And I highly doubt they called that in, and their superior told them to crush their car...I just can't see that happening. 06 Mini Cooper S Sundown, SoundQubed Cadence, XS Power 151s Sealed 155s Outlaw Windshield @ 37hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keepinitloud Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 well from the comfort of our homes here in the good ol USA we can give our 2 cents on the right and wrong but when your in hostile country and charged with the task of protecting the streets of bagdad or any other iraq city when the enemy and the non enemy look the same you have to make a judgement call on the spot and they used to cut off a hand when you stole so I think he got off lucky for stealing some one elses wood 06 chrysler 300C Hemi one mmatts dreadnaut 15 powered by a planet audio vx 2200d fosgate p200 running planet audio 8" midbass drivers and super compression tweeters stock battery and a stinger spv44 Irragi 300 amp alternator big 3 1/0 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/55075-system-in-my-300c/page__view__findpost__p__763656__fromsearch__1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team_DC-Derrick Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 ok even if they said looting, they didnt say what, so it could have been the car for all we know.. the media always puts a horror story on us soldiers... and never gives the full details of what happened..

n8ball2013 Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 ok even if they said looting, they didnt say what, so it could have been the car for all we know.. the media always puts a horror story on us soldiers... and never gives the full details of what happened.. agreed. Until youve been there and put in that situation don't judge any of them. They said they were caught looting. What if it was a disabled US vehicle or even worse yet a dead US body.

Airborne Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 welcome to 2003. And that's not a taxi, taxi's in Iraq have red fenders and quarter panels. In the beginning we had to establish who was in charge. You guys may think it was overboard but these people were steeling EVERYTHING and we did what we could to prevent that. Look how they are blowing each other up right now, they only respond to and respect the guy with the biggest stick, we showed ours and those assholes quit looting. The camera crew had an agenda there, that's why I never let one film me or anything I was involved in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin - STAPUFT Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 I saw this video a long time ago. Anyone have friends or family that has gone over there? Talk to one of them. Then you will understand why these guys were so paranoid and why they did what they did. They cheered for America and our soldiers when Saddam was ousted, then they cursed us and blew up and sniped our soldiers the very next day. I don't have an answer for the whole thing- I am just saying, I understand where the soldiers are coming from. 12 - 12"s in the STAY PUFT 1989 Chevy Astro Build & Comment Log Un-Interrupted Build LogYouTube Channel Chevy Trailblazer 5.1 Dolby Digital DTS Install You have a beard of a mysterious sea captain.

Airborne Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 I think this is more like off topic, politics (well some of you are dumb enough) didn't play a role in what the Soldiers did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
